The Foundation Certificate in International Relations provides participants with a comprehensive introduction to the foundations, structures, and dynamics of global politics. The program explores how the modern international system developed, focusing on the emergence of sovereign states, the evolution of the nation-state, and the historical forces that shaped contemporary international relations. Participants gain an understanding of key concepts such as sovereignty, power, conflict, cooperation, and the role of diplomacy in managing relations between states and other global actors. The course examines major global events, including wars, international agreements, and geopolitical transformations, while highlighting the importance of diplomacy as a primary tool for achieving peaceful outcomes. In addition, the program introduces the role of international organisations, non-state actors, and global governance structures in addressing complex global challenges. Participants explore core analytical approaches used in international relations, including different levels of analysis (individual, state, and system), and develop the ability to interpret global events from multiple perspectives. The course further covers critical topics such as international security, nuclear non-proliferation, and foreign policy decision-making, providing practical insights into how global issues are negotiated and managed. Overall, the certificate equips learners with foundational knowledge of international relations and the skills to understand and analyse an increasingly interconnected world.
